A review by libralita
Fullmetal Alchemist (3-In-1 Edition), Vol. 2 by Hiromu Arakawa

5.0

It’s weird that Scar guy isn’t really in this book but he’s on the cover. It would have made more sense to put a young Al and Edward since a good portion of this book is telling their backstory.

“Envy: You sure it’s such a good idea to let this kid live?”—Page 16

I’m sure it won’t be.

DON’T YOU SLAP EDDIE!

“Edward: And there’s no need to be so polite. I’m just a ‘child’, right?
Black hair: No joke?
Light hair: What a relief! You don’t know how hard it was for me to be so polite to someone younger than me!!”—Page 39

Ruuuuuude.

I LOVE ARMSTRONG SO MUCH!!

“Edward:…I hate milk.”—Page 65

That explains everything.

“Hughes: They would rather shoulder their pain themselves…than cause their loved ones to worry.”—Page 81

*Blinks* Hughes…YOU WERE SUPPOSE TO BE COMIC RELIEF HOW DARE YOU!

They can’t even trust Roy?

The president slipped away from his body guards. He’s like Ed and Al.

We’re finally going to meet this mysterious teacher!

NO NO NO NO DO NOT HURT HUGHES.

BLACK HAIRED DUDE! YOU’RE A TRAITOR!! IT’S ONE OF THE SINNERS FUCK! AND HUGHES! NOOOOOOO.

ROY LIKES DOGS! I’m still horribly depressed that Hughes died bUT AWWWWWWW!

*Aladdin theme starts playing*

Winry giving girl-Aladdin a stern talking to is great.

I think I’ve seen that “Don’t forget 3. OCT. 11” thing before. I didn’t know it was this series.

I SHOULDN’T BE TEARING UP AT A BIRTH BUT I AM!

I like this teacher. Izumi, I think the Firelord in Legend of Korra also has that name lol. I wonder if that’s a FMA reference.

“Mr. Curtis: I can’t help it that I was born with this scary face.”—Page 334

Aw, poor guy!!

IZUMI YOU CAN’T JUST LEAVE TWO KIDS ON AN ISLAND!

I’ve seen this tree in one of the intros.

“Hawkeye: Because there’s someone I need to protect.”—Page 498

Who? Mustang? Yeah. It is Mustang. Now I want to see more of Hawkeye and Mustang together.

Oh, now I understand why Ed hates Mustang. Now I don’t know how much I trust him.

“The Fullmetal Alchemist!”—Page 528

Roll credits.

“Izumi: You don’t have to hold back.”—Page 536

I’M NOT CRYING YOU’RE CRYING!

Izumi, whyyyyyyy? I understand why but why?

Another one of the sins? Alrightie then.
